What an absolutely brilliant performance by Rafa’s reds tonight.<\/p>\n

Right from the first minute we poured into them, it was great to watch as Liverpool attacked over and over again with Casillas making save after save until Fernando Torres opened the scoring on 16 minutes.<\/p>\n

Then the penalty which Gerrard scored easily.<\/p>\n

Great first half was followed by the perfect restart when Gerrard scored again from a Babel cross.<\/p>\n

Some slight Madrid pressure followed but the match was killed off by sub Andre Dossena, of all people, scored the fourth.<\/p>\n

So a magical night at Anfield,<\/p>\n
